Hello, I know this came up before hand, but I haven''t seen a conclusive answer. This is with regards to the MultiparameterAssignmentErrors and select_date when submitting an invalid date (September 31st for example). It seems that when an invalid date is submitted, the date value should be set to nil as opposed to throw an exception that seems a bit hard to catch elegantly and then provide validation. The exception is raised in ActiveRecord::Base line 2002 and seems that throwing that exception there is the intended feature. That bit of code could possibly be rewritten as (completely un tested): ------------------ def execute_callstack_for_multiparameter_attributes(callstack) errors = [] callstack.each do |name, values| klass = (self.class.reflect_on_aggregation(name.to_sym) || column_for_attribute(name)).klass if values.empty? send(name + "=", nil) else begin send(name + "=", Time == klass ? klass.local(*values) : klass.new(*values)) rescue => ex send(name + "=", nil) end end end unless errors.empty? raise MultiparameterAssignmentErrors.new(errors), "#{errors.size} error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes" end end ------------------- Or, any ideas of how to elegantly catch invalid dates or other multiparamter attributes at the validation stages? -carl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
